staging: fbtft: fb_st7789v: reset display before initialization
In rare cases the display is flipped or mirrored. This was observed more
often in a low temperature environment. A clean reset on init_display()
should help to get registers in a sane state.

I'll put the line as subject instead.

this is a fix for a rare behavior of the fb_st7789v display. Not a
bugfix for a specific commit.
Best regards,

So if it has always been broken, list the commit where the code was
added to the kernel, as this should be backported to the stable kernels,
right?
